EDITORS COMMENTS
The Monument to the Andrews Raiders in the National Cemetery of Chattanooga, Tennessee stands as a powerful tribute to a dramatic event during the American Civil War. The monument, erected in 1907, features a model of The General locomotive atop its plinth, symbolizing the daring capture, chase, and ultimate recapture that took place in 1862.
This historic event involved a group known as the Andrews Raiders who attempted to steal a Confederate train called The General in order to disrupt enemy supply lines. Despite their initial success, they were pursued by Confederate forces and ultimately captured. Their bravery and sacrifice are commemorated through this striking monument.
The print captures not only the impressive structure itself but also the solemn atmosphere of the National Cemetery where it resides. Headstones dotting the graveyard serve as reminders of those who lost their lives during this tumultuous period in American history.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time of great conflict and turmoil. The Monument to the Andrews Raiders stands as a testament to their courage and determination in the face of adversity. It serves as an enduring reminder of our nation's heritage and history for generations to come.
